Mise-en-scene

Props - in our opening sequence we are going to need a few things such as; sofa, television, belts, chair and torturing equipment.


Here is an example of someone being tied up and tortured which has been successful in the film saw, this is kind of what we want to end up achieving in our thriller opening.

Costume -

Casual clothing is going to be for the innocent victims of the attack as they are just watching a film at home, and black clothing + a balaclava for the two kidnappers.




Make up - ketchup or fake blood is going to be used in our scene as an example of blood and bits of dirt and dust etc around the set to make it more realistic




Lighting - At the beginning, it is going to be normal house lighting (few lights on) then suddenly they all go out and they flash into pitch black, then candles will be enough illuminate the room this is when the kidnappers take them. In the torture room it will a dark cold lighting atmosphere to make it more realistic and represent the theme.




Sets - It will be set in a house for the start of the scene (lounge) so the audience can relate to it and then further on when the kidnappers take the couple we exchange into a dark shed to give it a more isolated feeling.

This image we have chosen represent what we want to achieve in the kidnapping there is normal activity in the living room then the kidnappers come in and take them.


Colour - we will use black clothing for the kidnappers to represent the antagonist and evilness. therefore, casual bright colours used for the innocent victims to represent them as protagonist.
